• TMUX: Terminal Multiplexer
• Allows multiple terminal sessions within single window
• Decouples processes from actively running shell

This used to be me:

I also:

• Do a lot of stuff on the command line
• Switch around between several projects throughout the course of a day
• Hate starting in my home directory every time I open a new terminal

• Pane: Single interactive session – can be split within a window
• Window: Grouping of panes. Only one can be shown within terminal at a time
• Session: Grouping of windows. Similar to “project” in VS Code or Sublime

Start a new session:

tmux new -s mysession

Split pane (vertical):

Ctrl-b %

Split pane (horizontal):

Ctrl-b "

Move between panes:

Ctrl-b [arrow keys]

Create a new window:

Ctrl-b n

Navigate between windows:

Ctrl-b [window number]

Detach session:

Ctrl-b d

List sessions:

Ctrl-b s
